We've been doing it for genetic modification for ages. If it's possible to stop people from making human-chihuahua baby hybrids en masse, why is it impossible to stop people from culturally devaluing art en masse?
I don't think it's reactionary to have a cultural concern like this, either. Especially when the concern boils down to hyper-commodification. I'm not concerned about some abstract "rot" of society, but rather the commodification of art itself.
Weird analogy imho. It's possible to stop people from making human-chihuahua baby hybrids because it's impossible to make human-chihuahua baby hybrids. Limiting ourselves to the realm of the technically feasible, there isn't really anything in place to prevent someone from trying to make glowing E. coli in their garage - heck, there are kits available. Still, the fact that it's expensive to set up, the success rates are often low, and the payoff isn't really that big is enough to keep it from becoming a problem. Easier to set up a python environment and buy a gaming PC than it is to maintain bacterial cultures.
